Laser pulse simulation en is 1.3 mm, and does not degrade for: • Phase jitter=one degree RF rms • Emitted charge variation 1% rms (0.3% IR energy) • Rise-Fall time 1 psrms
Effect of cathode spot ellipticity on emittance 95% circularity can be obtain with conventional optics(cylindrical lens) enx,eny V. Fusco – Homdyn sim. Ellipticity
Time pulse shaper Phase only modulation preserves optical band To perform pulse stretching!! Specified flat top can be obtained by phase only Modulation (see fig. of non amplified pulse) D. Meshulach, D. Yelin, Y. Silberberge J. Opt. Soc. Am., B 15 (1998) 1615

Energy budget Losses: Pinhole flattener 62% Optics 38% 3th harmonic generation 90% 20 mJ in IR needed to obtain 500 mJ on cathode @ 266 nm and so 1 nC • Stability of high energy amplified pulses is an issue. • Improvements in cathodes quantum efficiency simplifies the problem.
